@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Her daddy gave her, her first pony
Then taught her to ride
She climbed high in that saddle
Fell, I don't know how many times
He taught her a lesson that she learned
Maybe a little too well
Cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life are gonna show you in time
Soon enough, you're gonna know why
It's gonna hurt every now and then
If you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry
She grew up, she got married
But it never was quite right
She wanted a house, a home and babies
He started comin' home late at night
She didn't let him see it break her heart
She didn't let him see her fall apart
'Cause cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride
Yeah, lessons of life are gonna show you in time
Soon enough, you're gonna know why
It's gonna hurt every now and then
If you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry
Phone rang early one mornin'
Her mama's voice, she'd been cryin'
Said, "It's your daddy, you need to come home
This is it, I think he's dyin'"
She laid the phone down by his head
The last words that he said
Cowgirl don't cry, ride, baby, ride
Lessons of life show us all in time
Too soon God'll let you know why
If you fall get right back on
The good Lord calls everybody home
Cowgirls don't cry
Then taught her to ride
She climbed high in that saddle
Fell, I don't know how many times
He taught her a lesson that she learned
Maybe a little too well
Cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life are gonna show you in time
Soon enough, you're gonna know why
It's gonna hurt every now and then
If you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry
She grew up, she got married
But it never was quite right
She wanted a house, a home and babies
He started comin' home late at night
She didn't let him see it break her heart
She didn't let him see her fall apart
'Cause cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride
Yeah, lessons of life are gonna show you in time
Soon enough, you're gonna know why
It's gonna hurt every now and then
If you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry
Phone rang early one mornin'
Her mama's voice, she'd been cryin'
Said, "It's your daddy, you need to come home
This is it, I think he's dyin'"
She laid the phone down by his head
The last words that he said
Cowgirl don't cry, ride, baby, ride
Lessons of life show us all in time
Too soon God'll let you know why
If you fall get right back on
The good Lord calls everybody home
Cowgirls don't cry

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song represents how a true cowgirl feels! songs like these make me proud 2 b a cowgirl :) to all you cowgirls out there jus remember "COWGIRLS DON'T CRY"
She does when the horse kicks her!! It hurt!
This is a great song, inspired by one of country's giants...Reba. While I love this version, I loved even more hearing Reba lend her voice to the song at the 42nd CMAs. I cried at the end. These three friends sounded perfect together, just like always.
Lessons in life are going to show you in time Soon enough your gonna know why It's gonna hurt every now and then If you fall get back on again Cowgirls don't cry
that's my senior quote. :):) love this song.
this song is the life of many.unlike i,though,it is exactly as it is played. a girl gets a pony,father teaches her to ride it,the girl falls now and again, the father telling her it may hurt but just keep trying.,the girl grows up,gets married to a low life whos doesn't love her back,the husband comes home late alot, the girl gets a call from her mother that her father is dying,the last words he said were words he repeated to the girl and the girl always remembered,then the father dies. sad but true for alot,as i have said before.
